Ed Sheeran has seemingly deleted his Twitter account after his Game of Thrones cameo was heavily criticised on the platform.
The singer previously tweeted under the account @EdSheeran but now users are greeted by a message saying ‘sorry, that page doesn’t exist!’ when they try to view his account.
Ed made his hotly anticipated appearance in the first episode of series seven of Game of Thrones, which aired on Sky Atlantic yesterday (17th July).
Ed stars in a scene with Maisie William’s character Arya Stark, Ed is seen sitting with a group of soldiers playing on guitar and singing. Arya rides past the group on a horse and remarks “It’s a pretty song, I’ve never heard it before” to which Ed replies “It’s a new one”.
Viewers of the show were quick to take to Twitter to express their feelings about Ed’s cameo… and they weren't too impressed by it...
Earlier this month, rumours suggested the Ed had left Twitter after being fed up with the abuse he experienced on the platform. However, the singer was quick to deny the rumours, posting on Instagram, 'Loads of hoo-har about me quitting stuff. I haven’t quit anything, I’m just not reading anything, except Harry Potter’. However it looks like he's really gone this time...
